Christophe,
Following is cut and pasted from the CSS Sprech-Stunde
this was April 8.
At this time it was known of the upcoming match-up with Kramnik.
Not in detail but it was known.
If you had a SMP version why did you not answer this question in
that manner?. Or assuming secrecy ;-) then contact BGN as suggested
in a follow-up about having an SMP Tiger.
Sarah Bird: Do you feel that either Tiger 14.0 or Gambit 2.0 running on say a TB
1.5 Ghz, would compete better against the World Champion than Deep Fritz running
on 8 processors.? Naturally assuming your answer is yes :-) then what benefit
would there be to organizers who promote multiple cpu's in using either of your
programs?
CT: If it is about promoting multiple CPUs, then... Well in short I do not
understand why Gambit Tiger has not even been considered as a potential
candidate.
------------------
Sarah Bird: Personally at this point why would Gambit be a candidate? It hasn't
yet proved to be stronger than any of the main competition. The organizers
whoever they are, if they are interested in promoting dual processors what is to
be gained for them with a single cpu playing?
CT: Playing videos with the other CPU? ;)
------------------
Sarah.
